Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I do not believe the prescription form of vitamin D is the D3 form. I do believe that taking this high a level of any hormone (vitamin D is a hormone since it is synthesized in the liver using cholesterol) is ridiculous. My OPINION on this, is take the 5000 IU daose each day that you don't get adequate sun and BALANCE its effect by taking added vitamin A (not beta-carotene)--- On Mon, 3/1/10, Amber Boggs <rubyrue wrote: Amber Boggs <rubyrue vit d3 Date: Monday, March 1, 2010, 8:16 PM HI all, can someone tell me weather the vit d3 praskriptions are werth takeing?
